Quran Made Easy: Complete English Translation with Inline Commentary (Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias), 2012

I see in these pages the psychological abandonment of the Arabs as a people group sent away by Abraham. Ever since, they have had to find an inner Islam, an inner peace, an inner place of understanding, an inner centering. Thus the Quran records the rationalization of an orphan (Ishmael), unwanted by his father’s wife (Sarah), unable to persuade his father that he is worth keeping around, left to die with his mother (Hagar). “I’ll show YOU who is worthless! I am the older brother. The birth right should be MINE! I am the rightful heir of Abraham, and therefore the blessing of God. You, Jews/Christians, think you’re so great. I grew up in Abraham’s house. I know what he smells like, what he looks like; he taught me wisdom at his own knee. I am not a wild donkey, I am Ishmael, prince of God, firstborn of Abraham, and beneficiary to the true God through His true prophet, my father.

From The Murmuring Deep: Loc. 3436-38 | Isaac and Ishmael were engaged in a controversy. The latter argued, “I am more beloved than you, because I was circumcised at the age of thirteen,” while Isaac replied, “I am more beloved, because I was circumcised at eight days.” Ishmael said, “I am more beloved, because I could have protested, yet did not.”

Translator’s ForewardLoc. 465 | Because of the comprehensiveness of The Quraan every meaning is equally applicable.==========

Glossary of TermsLoc. 513-15 | Allaah: Commonly spelt "Allah", He is the One and Only being worthy of worship Who has no partners or children and is unlike anything we know. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all creation and controls everything in the universe. Only He knows, sees and hears everything and will only be seen by the people of Jannah [Paradise].==========Loc. 631-33 | Although the word Injeel is normally translated as the Bible, this translation is incorrect because the Bible we have today is not the same Injeel that was revealed to Isa (Alayhis Salaam). The current Bible has been changed much from the original Injeel.==========Loc. 640-41 | The literal meaning of the word 'Islaam' is 'to surrender' or 'to submit' because Islaam teaches one to surrender himself to Allaah's commands.==========Loc. 659-60 | Although usually translated as a 'holy war', the word Jihaad literally means 'to make an effort' or 'to exert oneself'.==========Loc. 665-67 | Kaafir (plural Kaafiroon [unbelievers] or Kuffaar [unbelievers]): Commonly translated 'disbeliever' or 'rejecter of faith'. This term refers to any person who does not have Imaan [faith]. Therefore, Jews and Christians may be referred to as Kaafiroon [unbelievers].==========Loc. 669 | Ka'bah: Also referred to as 'Baytullaah' (Allaah's house'),==========Loc. 696-97 | The Maqaam of Ibraheem (Alayhis Salaam) is the rock which Allaah provided for Ibraheem (Alayhis Salaam) to stand on while he was building the Ka'bah The rock would rise into the air whenever Ibraheem (Alayhis Salaam) needed to go higher as he built the walls.==========Loc. 709-10 | Mi'raaj: The miraculous journey that Rasulullaah (Muhammad) made to the heavens in a state of consciousness with his physical body. Refer to the first verse of Surah 17.

==========Loc. 718-19 | It may be said that all the verses of the Quraan are Muhkam (clear and comprehensible) in a sense that all its verses are the truth and every word and meaning is so accurate and coherent that none can raise any objection.==========Loc. 730-34 | Mutashaabihaat: These are those verses of the Quraan that are not as clear as the 'Muhkamaat' in their interpretation. Their meanings are best known to Allaah. Allaah says about these verses, 'None knows their interpretation except Allaah' (Surah 3, verse 7). It is necessary to interpret these verses only in a manner that does not contradict what the Muhkam verses mention. When a suitable interpretation cannot be found, one should not delve too deeply into their meanings because the injunctions of Islaam are clearly mentioned in the Muhkamaat verses and failure to perfectly interpret the Mutashaabihaat will not affect a person's life.==========Loc. 770-71 | The word Rabb refers to the Being Who creates, nurtures, sustains, controls and owns the entire creation. There is therefore no English word that can adequately translate it.==========Loc. 880 | … zakaah [charity tax], which is calculated at 2.5% of their surplus wealth.==========

Intro to the QuraanLoc. 920-21 | When Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of Iraq, invaded Palestine, he collected all the manuscripts of The Torah and set fire to them. Not a single copy has survived.==========Loc. 927-29 | None of the books revealed to ancient Nabi's has reached us in its entirety. That is why Allaah willed that a book containing all the commandments should be made available to man and that its authenticity should be preserved for all times to come. Such a book is The Quraan.==========Loc. 968-70 | It is our belief that The Quraan is not a creation of Allaah, it was not created by Allaah over a certain period of time or at a particular point in time. Rather, it always existed.==========Loc. 1024-25 | The first revelation of The Quraan came on the 15th night in the month of Ramadhaan in the 41st year after the birth of Rasulullaah [Messenger of Allah]==========Loc. 1062-64 | … the Arabic that we hear on radio or read in the press today is the same as that of the day of Rasulullaah [Messenger of Allah] i.e. in the language of The Quraan and Injeel [Gospels]. There is no difference between the two by way of meaning of words, grammar, spelling or pronunciation.==========Loc. 1462-73 | How do we know that the revelation which is called The Quraan Shareef is the word of Allaah Ta'aala? The following criteria of truth can be easily understood by all. PERFECTION: Since A1laah Ta'aala is All Knowing, His revelation must be perfect and accurate, free from mistakes, omissions, interpolations and multiple versions. It is free from contradictions in its narration. RATIONAL TEACHINGS: Since A1laah

World Religion Page 5 of 34

Ta'aala bestowed reason and intellect to mankind, it is our duty to use these to distinguish truth from falsehood. True undistorted revelation from Allaah Ta'aala is rational and can be reasoned out by all unbiased minds. NO MYTHS OR SUPERSTITIONS: The true revelations from Allaah Ta'aala are free from myths and superstitions that degrade the dignity of Allaah Ta'aala or man. SCIENTIFIC: Since Allaah Ta'aala is the Creator of all knowledge, true revelation is scientific and can withstand the challenge of science at all times. PROPHECY: Allaah Ta'aala is the Knower of the past, present and future. Thus His prophesies in His revelation will be fulfilled as prophesied. INIMITABLE BY MAN: True revelation from A1laah Ta'aala is infallible and cannot be imitated by man. Allaah Ta'aala's true revelation is a living miracle, an open book which challenges all mankind to see and prove for themselves.==========Loc. 1511 | The Quraan contains the following: Verses: 6666==========Loc. 1531, 46-47 | “Jibra'eel [Gabriel] came to me and asked me [Muhammad] to place this Ayah [verse] in this Surah.” … “The sequence of Al Quraan was an obligatory order and Jibra'eel used to tell Rasulullaah [Messenger of Allah] to place a particular Aayah [verses] at a particular place.”==========Loc. 1611-12 | … it is not possible for everybody to understand the underlying significance and real meaning of The Quraan.==========Loc. 1634-36 | Rasulullaah said: “Whosoever says anything from his own opinion in matters of The Quraan should prepare his abode in the Fire.”==========Loc. 1639-40 | … he who deviates in his explanation from the views of the Sahaabah [Muhammad’s companions] and the Taabi'een [followers of Muhammad’s companions] is wrong; nay, he is a mistaken innovator, even though he is a Mujtahid (trying honestly to reach the truth) and will hopefully be forgiven by Allaah.==========

Surah 1: The Essence of the QuraanLoc. 1757-60 | 5. Guide us to the straight path (the path of lslaam); 6. The path of those whom You have favoured (by guiding them aright); 7. .... and not the path of those with whom You are angry (the Jews), nor the path of those who have gone astray (the Christians).==========

Surah 2: The BullLoc. 1789-90 | What should always be borne in mind is that no person's word will be accepted when it contradicts the Shari'ah, irrespective of his status.==========Loc. 1793-94 | There is no doubt (or error) in this Book==========Loc. 1804-8 | Verily, it makes no difference to the Kaafiroon [unbelievers] (those destined to die as Kaafiroon [unbelievers]) whether you warn them or do not warn them; they will still not have Imaan [faith]. Allaah has placed a seal upon their hearts (so no good enters) and upon their hearing (so they do not heed what they hear), while there is a

veil over their eyes (so they do not see the truth). Theirs shall be a terrible (severe and eternal) punishment.==========Loc. 1852-61 | If you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our bondsman (if you doubt that the Quraan which was revealed to Muhammad is from Allaah), then produce even a single Surah [chapter] like any in the Quraan (something that can match the eloquence, the beauty, the style and the prophecies of the Quraan). And (you are also at liberty to) call your witnesses (your helpers and deities) besides Allaah if you are truthful (stand up to this challenge if you feel that you are truthful in your claim that Muhammad (Muhammad) was the author of the Quraan. If your claim is correct, you will easily be able to compose something equal if not superior because Muhammad (Muhammad) was an untutored person). If you cannot accomplish (do) the feat (of producing a Surah like one in the Quraan), and you will never be able to do so, then fear that Fire (which you are soon to enter), the fuel of which is (Kuffaar [unbelievers]) men and stones (including their idols). It has been prepared for the Kaafiroon [unbelievers]==========Loc. 1998-2001 | You (the people of the Bani [sons of] Israa'eel) are certainly well aware of those from you who failed to honour the Sabbath (by fishing on Saturdays when they were prohibited from doing so). So We told them, "Become hated and cursed monkeys!" (They were turned into monkeys and died after three days; as mentioned in Surah 7, verses 163-166).==========Loc. 2089-93 | They (the Jews mockingly) say [Muhammad], "Our hearts are covered (in a veil so we cannot understand what you say)." Not at all! (The truth is that) Allaah has cursed them (removed them from His mercy and rejected them) because of their disbelief (and not because of any covering on their hearts). As a result, there are very few of them who have Imaan [Islam].==========Loc. 2126-27 | Without any doubt, you will find them (the Jews) to be the greediest people for life (because they know that they are heading for Jahannam/Hell)==========Loc. 2172-73 | Do you not know that Allaah has power (control) over all things? (Allaah therefore has the right to cancel or give commands as He pleases.)==========Loc. 2223-24 | “(True) Guidance (the true path) is only the guidance (the path) of Allaah (lslaam. All religions besides Islaam are misguided).”==========Loc. 2279-82 | They say, “Become Jews (said the Jews) or Christians (said the Christians) and you will be guided.” Tell them, “(We will) Rather follow the religion of Ibraheem, which is not inclined towards any deviation (error) but is inclined to the straight way (the path of Allaah). He was never from the Mushrikeen [polytheists].”==========Loc. 2302-3 | (None can be more unjust than the Jews who hide the part of the Torah that states that Ibraheem followed the straight way of Islaam.==========Loc. 2312 | “To Allaah belongs the East and the West

==========Loc. 2321-24 | And We changed the Qiblah [direction of prayer] towards which you faced only so that We may distinguish the ones who will follow the Prophet (Muhammad from those who will turn back on their heels (and leave Islaam with the excuse that (Muhammad is changing the Deen). Verily this (changing of the Qiblah) is a difficult matter (for all) except those whom Allaah has guided.==========Loc. 2366-67 | Allaah preserves the souls of martyrs as beautiful green birds==========Loc. 2486-87 | (fasting saves a person from sin because it develops self-restraint and drives away the passions that lead to sin).==========Loc. 2525-28 | Kill them (the Kaafiroon [unbelievers]) wherever you find them, and drive them out of the places from which they drove you out. Corruption (part of which is Shirk [polytheism], turning away from religion and causing others to do so) is certainly worse than killing. Do not fight them by the Masjidul Haraam unless they fight you in it. If they fight you, then kill them as well (even if it be in Makkah). In this manner are the Kaafiroon [unbelievers] repaid.==========Loc. 2530-32 | Continue fighting them until no corruption (especially no Shirk [polytheism] and turning others away from Islaam) exists and until religion (worship) is only for Allaah (until people worship Allaah only).==========Loc. 2639-41 | (Whereas Jihaad seems difficult, it leads to either martyrdom or victory coupled with booty, all of which are good. On the other hand, although avoiding Jihaad seems good, it deprives one of tremendous rewards and eventually leads to the suppression of Muslims and them being humiliated by the Kaafiroon [unbelievers].)==========Loc. 2641-43 | (A Muslim should therefore carry out Allaah's orders without hesitation because Allaah's laws are correct and one should not be misled by one's own ideas, desires or assumptions.)==========Loc. 2682-83 | Your wives are your tilling fields (where your seeds are planted) so approach your tilling fields as you desire==========Loc. 2817-18 | Allaah granted him (Dawood ) kingship and wisdom, and taught him that which He willed (like the ability to speak to birds).==========Loc. 2876-79 | Ibraheem did as Allaah told him. He cut the bodies of a pigeon, a crow, a peacock and a fowl and placed different parts of each bird on different mountains. When he called for them, the parts of each bird rejoined with the other parts of its body and formed a complete bird which flew to Ibraheem==========

Surah 3: The Family of Imraan (Father of Moses/Aaron)Loc. 3024 | … even Allaah's pious servants (like Isa Alayhis Salaam and his mother Maryam (R.A)) also must not be worshipped.

==========Loc. 3044-48 | The Kuffaar [unbelievers] queried that if Muhammad was the true messenger of Allaah and if Islaam was the true religion, why did he suffer injuries in the battle of Uhud and why did the Muslims lose the battle? A gist of this reply is that the Muslims were about to attain victory in the battle according to Allaah's promise, but they slipped up by failing to obey Muhammad's order to guard the mountain pass. It was this that led to their temporary defeat.==========Loc. 3241-44 | When Isa [Jesus] (Alayhis Salaam) sensed kufr (the intention to cause enmity and harm) from them (the Jews), he said, “Who shall be my helpers towards (spreading the Deen [true religion] of) Allaah?” The Disciples (first two, then others followed) replied, “We shall be the helpers (of the Deen of) Allaah. We believe in Allaah and you be the witness that we are indeed Muslims (subservient to Allaah).”==========Loc. 3503-5 | (If Allaah wills,) He shall grant them the ability to repent (and become Muslims) or He may punish them (if He chooses not to guide them to Islaam), for they are indeed oppressors (oppressing themselves by not becoming Muslims).==========Loc. 3747-49 | Our Rabb [Lord]! Pardon our sins, remove from us (forgive) our evil actions (so that no one knows of it) and grant us death (so that we may be) with the righteous ones (in the Aakhirah [hereafter]).”==========Loc. 3772-74 | Oh you who have Imaan [faith]! Exercise sabr (remain steadfast in obedience and refrain from sins), compete in patience, continue doing good deeds (especially ensuring that the borders of Muslim countries are well guarded) and fear Allaah so that you may be successful (in reaching your goal).==========

Surah 4: WomenLoc. 3856-57 | For a male is the share of two females (males inherit twice as much as their female counterparts).==========Loc. 3866 | Allaah is All Knowing, All-Wise (His wisdom in sharing the inheritance cannot be questioned.)==========Loc. 3896-3900 | Forgiveness is not for those who (continue to) commit evil acts (without repenting) and then, when death presents itself before any of them (and they can see the angels of death before them), he says, 'Now I repent!' Nor is it (forgiveness) for those who die as Kuffaar [unbelievers] (and who repent in the Aakhirah [hereafter]. Such people will never be forgiven). We have prepared for such people a painful punishment.==========Loc. 3980-90 | Men have charge over women (as their overseers, guardians, protectors) because of the virtue (distinction) Allaah has (in His wisdom) bestowed some of you over others and because of what they (men) spend (on women) from their wealth. So the righteous (good) women are obedient (to Allaah and to their husbands by protecting their chastity, dignity and wealth) and, in (the) absence (of their husbands), are protective (of their chastity and the property of their husbands) because of that (those rights of women)

World Religion Page 9 of 34

which Allaah has protected (by instructing men to provide for and to treat their wives kindly. Therefore, just as Allaah has safeguarded her rights, she should fulfil the rights she owes to her husband). As for those (wives) whose disobedience you fear, advise them; (if this fails, then) separate your bed from theirs (within the same house) and (in extreme circumstances) rap them (gently, without injuring them, without striking the face and without leaving any marks on the body). If they obey you then do not look for a way against them (do not look for an excuse to oppress them or to wrongfully accuse them).==========Loc. 4036-37 | Allaah has cursed [the Jews] because of their kufr [disbelief], so only a few of them have Imaan [faith] (only those who became Muslims).==========Loc. 4037-42 | O Ahlul Kitaab [People of the Book]! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad), which verifies what (revelation) is with you (in the Torah and Injeel [Gospels] concerning Tauheed [monotheism], Risaalah [prophethood], Qiyaamah [resurrection], etc.) before We disfigure faces (completely changing their appearance), turning them around (into animals), or (before) We curse them as We had cursed the people of the Sabbath (see Surah 2, verse 65 and Surah 7, verses 163-166). The decree of Allaah shall (certainly) come to pass (will be carried out).==========Loc. 4057-67 | Or are they (the Jews) jealous of people (Muhammad and the Arabs) because of what Allaah has given them of His bounty (prophethood and the chief of prophets from their lineage)? Indeed We gave to the family of Ibraheem (Alayhis Salaam) the Book (many divine scriptures) and wisdom (prophethood in their lineage) and We had given them a mighty kingdom (such as the kingdoms of Dawood Alayhis Salaam and Sulaymaan Alayhis Salaam). 55. Of them were those who believed in him (Muhammad) and those who turned away from him. Jahannam [hell] is sufficient as a smouldering inferno (as a blazing fire for those who reject the prophethood of Muhammad). 56. Indeed those who reject our Aayaat [signs], We shall soon enter (cast) them into the (blazing) Fire. Whenever their skins melt (is burnt up in Jahannam), We shall exchange them for (replace them with) fresh skins so that they may taste the (full extent of the continuous) punishment. Undoubtedly Allaah is Mighty (He has no difficulty in meting out such punishment), The Wise (He knows why every person should receive what punishment).==========Loc. 4119-26 | So those who sell the life of this world in exchange for the Aakhirah [hereafter] should fight in Allaah's way. Whoever fights in Allaah's way and is killed (martyred) or attains victory (over the Kuffaar [unbelievers]), soon We shall grant him a magnificent reward. What excuse do you have not to fight in Allaah's way and in defence of the weak men, women and children who (trapped among the Kuffaar) cry out, "O our Rabb [Lord]! Remove us from this town of oppressors, grant us a defender from Yourself and grant us a helper from Yourself ?" (Jihaad is fought to elevate the Deen [true religion] and to liberate oppressed Muslims.) The Mu’mineen [the faithful] fight in Allaah's way (for Allaah's pleasure) and the Kuffaar fight in the way (for the pleasure) of Shaytaan [Satan]. So (0 Muslims!) fight the allies (friends) of Shaytaan.==========

Loc. 4159-61 | So fight in Allaah's way (O Muhammad)! You are responsible only for yourself, and urge the Mu’mineen [the faithful] (to fight in Jihaad). Allaah shall perhaps restrain the aggression of the Kuffaar [unbelievers]. Allaah is indeed more Powerful in might and more Capable of punishing (the unbelievers).==========Loc. 4179-81 | If they turn away (from Islaam and become apostates), then grab hold of them and put them to death wherever you find them. Do not make any of them your friend or assistant ...==========Loc. 4239-40 | Take your precautions (always be on guard against your enemies and be prepared to fight them)! Indeed Allaah has prepared a humiliating punishment for the Kaafiroon [unbelievers] (Muslims should plan, be cautious and deligent).==========Loc. 4339-45 | 0 you who have Imaan [faith]! Be firm in establishing justice and be witness (to the truth) for Allaah even if it (the evidence you deliver) is against yourselves, your parents and relatives (you should expose the truth under all circumstances). Be he (the one against whom you testify) rich or poor, Allaah is closer to each of them (than you are and knows that your evidence against them is best for them because it will save them from worse punishment in the Aakhirah). So do not follow your passions in enforcing justice (by favouring some people over others). If you distort your speech (change your evidence) or turn away (from presenting it), then indeed Allaah is Well Informed of what you do (and will punish you for it).==========

Surah 5: The Set Table Loc. 4395-4430 | The Ahlul Kitaab [People of the Book] (Jews) ask you (O Muhammad) to reveal to them (to bring for them) a Book from the heavens (all at once as the Torah was revealed to Moosa [Moses]). Indeed they have asked even greater things of Moosa . (Among the things they asked Moosa was that) They said (to him), “Show Allaah to us before our eyes!” So a bolt of lightning seized (70 000 of) them because of their wrongdoing (because of their insolence). They then took to (the worship of) the calf after the clear signs (of Tauheed [monotheism]) had come to them. (However,) We forgave them for all of this (instead of destroying them all) and granted Moosa clear authority (over them, because of which he could order the execution of those who worshipped the calf). We lifted Mount Toor [Sinai] above them (the Jews, threatening to drop it on them) because of (the fact that they refused to fulfil) their pact and (on another occasion) We told them, “Enter the gate (of the town) bowing down!” (However, they entered the town dragging themselves on their buttocks) We also told them, “Do not overstep the limits of the Sabbath (by doing what We have forbidden you from doing)!” and We took from them a firm pledge (which they failed to fulfil). (The Jews are cursed) Because they broke their pledge, disbelieved in the Allaah's Aayaat [signs], unlawfully killed the Ambiyaa [prophets] and said, “Our hearts are covered (in a veil so we cannot understand what you say).” Not at all! Rather Allaah had placed a seal upon their hearts because of their (the Jews) kufr [unbelief]. As a result, there are very few of them (Jews) who have Imaan [faith]. And (the Jews are also cursed) because of their kufr and their terrible slander (defaming) of Maryam (when they accused her of committing fornication). And (they are also cursed) because they said, “Without doubt we have killed Maseeh Isa

[Messiah Jesus] the son of Maryam, the Rasool [messenger] of Allaah.” They never killed him, nor did they crucify him, but they were cast into doubt (when Allaah made the people think that another person was Isa, whom they killed instead). Indeed those who dispute about him (who say that Isa was crucified) are definitely in doubt. The only knowledge they possess (about Isa) is guesswork (they have no accurate knowledge about his whereabouts). With certainty, they never killed him. On the contrary, Allaah raised him towards Himself (in the heavens). Allaah is Mighty (Powerful to do whatever He wants), the Wise. Every person belonging to the Ahlul Kitaab (every Christian present when Isa will kill Dajjaal [anti-Christ]) shall certainly believe in him (Isa) before his (the person's) death, and on the Day of Judgement, he (Isa) shall be a witness against them (he will testify against the Jews who refused to acknowledge his prophethood and against the Christians who regarded him as Allaah and Allaah's son). Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews, We prohibited them from the pure things that were (previously) permissible for them (see Surah 6. verse 146). (This was) Because they excessively prevented (many others) from the path of Allaah ... because they accepted interest (usury) when they were prohibited from it and because they wrongfully ate (usurped) the wealth of others (using deceitful means). We have prepared an excruciating (extremely painful) punishment for the Kuffaar [unbelievers] among them. However, those (e.g. Abdullaah bin Salaam RA) of them (those Jews) who are well-grounded in knowledge (who accept Islaam) and the Mu’mineen [the faithful] believe in what was revealed to you (O Muhammad) and what was revealed before you. They are the ones who (regularly) establish salaah [worship posture], pay zakaah [tithes] and believe in Allaah and the Last Day. These are the ones to whom We shall soon grant an immense reward.==========Loc. 4462-66 | As for those (such as the Christians) who are ashamed (of worshipping Him) and are proud (rebellious), He shall inflict upon them an unbearable (painful) punishment and they will not find any friend nor any helper (against the punishment) besides Allaah. O (entire) Mankind, indeed a proof (Muhammad) has come to you from your Rabb [Lord] and We have revealed to you a clear light (the Quraan).==========Loc. 4512-14 | 'To Allaah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever is within them. He has power over all things.' This verse summarises the entire Surah because it emphasises that everything is owned by Allaah, and not by Isa [Jesus], as the Christians claim. Since Allaah is in control of everything, none but He can be worshipped.==========Loc. 4576-80 | Most certainly Allaah had taken a pledge from the Bani [children of] Israa'eel and We appointed among them twelve leaders (one to represent each of the twelve tribes). Allaah said, “Indeed I am with you (I shall assist you)! Without doubt, if you establish salaah [worship posture], pay zakaah [tithe], believe in My Rusul [prophet], assist them and lend to Allaah a good loan (by sincerely spending your pure wealth for His pleasure), I will certainly cancel your sins (because good cancels evil) and undoubtedly enter you into Jannaat [heaven] beneath which rivers flow.==========

Loc. 4585-87 | You (0 Muslims') shall continuously discover some sort of treachery from them (from the Jews). except from a few of them (who become Muslims). Forgive them and overlook (if you are not in a position to wage Jihaad).==========Loc. 4588-4602 | We had (also) taken a pledge from those who say, “We are Christians!” (helpers or from Nazareth) but they forgot a great portion of the advice given to them (in the lnjeel [Gospels], such as the command to believe in Muhammad when he appeared). So We have stirred up enmity (malice) and hatred (hostility and dispute) between them until the Day of Judgement. Soon (on the Day of Qiyaamah [Resurrection]) Allaah shall inform them of what (wrongs) they used to do (and punish them for it). O People of the Book! Undoubtedly Our Rasool [Prophet] (Muhammad) has come to you, exposing (explaining) to you much of the Book (Torah and lnjeel [Gospels]) which you used to conceal and overlooking much (of what you concealed so that you are not made to feel too embarrassed). Without doubt there has come to you from Allaah a light (Muhammad with the message of guidance) and a clear Book (the Quraan) ... by which Allaah guides to the paths of peace those who seek His pleasure, and removes them from a multitude of darkness into light by His order; and guides them to the straight path (of eternal salvation). Indeed those people have committed kufr [unbelief] who say that Allaah certainly is Maseeh [Messiah] the son of Maryam (Isa [Jesus]). Say, “If Allaah wishes to destroy Maseeh the son of Maryam, his mother and all (life) on earth, who will be able to offer them any protection from Allaah?” (None can offer any protection from Allaah. It is therefore clear that Isa [Jesus] cannot be a god as some Christians claim because if he were, he would have been able to protect at least himself and his mother from destruction.)==========Loc. 4647-51 | (After killing his brother, Qaabil [Cain] did not know what to do with the corpse because no human had died previously.) Then Allaah sent a crow to dig (a hole in) the earth to show him how to conceal the corpse of his brother. (Seeing the crow dig a hole to bury a dead crow in it) He (Qaabil) cried out, “Woe unto me that I could not be like this crow and conceal the body of my brother!” So he became one of the remorseful ones (because he did not know something that a crow knew and because he did not know how to face his father).==========Loc. 4671-74 | As for the male and female thief, cut off their (right) hands as punishment for what (sin of stealing) they earn and as a lesson (to others) from Allaah (so that others are deterred from stealing). Allaah is Mighty, the Wise (punishment of a few protects the majority).==========Loc. 4689-92 | Whoever Allaah desires (wants) to test (by allowing him to be misled), you shall never be able to assist him against (the punishment of) Allaah. These are the ones whose hearts Allaah does not intend to purify (from kufr [unbelief] and sin). For them shall be humiliation in this world and an awful punishment in the Aakhirah [hereafter].==========Loc. 4710-11 | Whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, then they surely are oppressors (transgressors).

==========Loc. 4734-37 | O you who have Imaan [faith]! Do not take the Jews and Christians as friends (confidantes). They (all Kuffaar [unbelievers]) are only the friends of each other (and cannot be your friends). Whoever of you befriends them, then he is surely from among them (because all the Kuffaar are one community). Verily Allaah does not guide a nation of wrong-doers (who befriend the Kuffaar).==========Loc. 4745-48 | Whoever among you turns away from his religion (forsakes Islaam), then (Allaah has no need for such people because) Allaah can soon bring (create) another nation whom He loves and who love Him; who will be kind towards the Mu’mineen [the faithful], stern towards the Kuffaar [unbelievers] and who will strive in Allaah's way (to uplift Islaam) without fearing the criticism==========Loc. 4764-67 | Shall I inform you of someone deserving worse punishment from Allaah? (They are) The ones whom Allaah has cursed, is angry with, some of whom He has transformed into monkeys and pigs and (those) who worship the Shaytaan [Satan] (by doing whatever he directs). These people are in the worst of positions (heading towards Jahannam [Hell]) and have strayed the most from the right (straight) path.” (The people being referred to here are the Jews.)==========Loc. 4781-85 | We have cast enmity and hatred between them until the Day of Judgement (because of which they will always be fighting). Whenever they light the flames of war (against the Muslims), Allaah extinguishes it (and they always fail to destroy Islaam). They spread corruption in the world and Allaah does not like those who spread corruption (and will punish them for it).==========Loc. 4812-14 | The Maseeh (Isa Alayhis Salaam) had told them, “O Bani [sons of] Israa'eel! Worship Allaah Who is my Rabb [Lord] and your Rabb! Allaah has definitely forbidden Jannah [Paradise] for the one who attributes a partner to Allaah (commits Shirk [polytheism]) and his abode shall be the Fire (of Jahannam [Hell]).==========Loc. 4820-23 | Maseeh the son of Maryam is but a Rasool [prophet].

Allaah sends astray whom He wills and He shall place whom He wills on the straight path (Islaam).==========Loc. 5609-10 | And (We have revealed the Quraan) so that you do not say, “A Book was revealed only to the two groups before us (the Jews and Christians) and we were unaware of their studies.”==========Loc. 5632-34 | This (Deen [true religion] of Islaam) is the secure Deen that is the Deen of Ibraheem, which is Haneef (not inclined towards any deviation but is inclined to the straight way, which is the path Allaah sanctions with zeal and force). He (Ibraheem) was never from the Mushrikeen [Polytheists].”==========Loc. 5638-39 | ([Muhammad] was the first Muslim, the first to rise from the grave on the Day of Qiyaamah [resurrection], the first to cross the Bridge of Siraat [bridge spanning hell that all must cross] and the first to enter Jannah [paradise].)==========

You have created me from fire and created him from clay." (While Iblees [the devil] argued that fire is better than sand because fire burns upwards and sand falls down, he failed to realise that sand extinguishes fire and that it is constructive whereas fire is destructive.)==========Loc. 5747-51 | So Shaytaan whispered to the two of them to expose (reveal) to them the private parts of their bodies that were concealed from each other. He said, "Your Rabb has prohibited you from this tree only so that you do not become two angels and so that you two do not become of the immortal."

Loc. 5758-63 | (Addressing Aadam, his wife and their unborn progeny,) He (Allaah) said, "Go down all of you as enemies to each other (for the Heavens cannot be a battle field against Satan). On earth you shall have a place to live and a place to gain benefit for a while (for as long as you live)." He (Allaah) said (further), "There (on earth) you shall live, you shall die and from there you shall be removed (to be resurrected on the Day of Qiyaamah).==========Loc. 5817-18 | "O our Rabb' These are the people who led us astray, so double their punishment of the Fire."==========Loc. 5840-43 | ... the curse of Allaah is on the oppressors (wrongdoers) who are ... those who prevent (others) from the path of Allaah (from Islaam), who seek (to make it seem as if there is) crookedness in it (in Islaam) and who reject the Aakhirah.==========Loc. 5988-91 | Whenever We sent any Nabi to a town (and they rejected his message), We seized its inhabitants with hardships (such as famine and misery) and difficulties (distress) so that they become humble (and then accept Imaan). Thereafter We exchanged the bad conditions for good conditions until they prospered==========Loc. 5993-6013 | Then We seized (punished) them suddenly while they did not realise (that punishment was coming their way). If the inhabitants of the (various) towns believe and adopt Taqwa, We will open to them multitudes of blessings from the heavens (such as rain) and the earth (such as abundant crops and minerals). However, they denied (the message of the Ambiyaa), so We seized (punished) them on account of what (evil actions) they earned. Are the (Kuffaar) inhabitants of the towns secure against (have they become fearless of) Our punishment afflicting them at night when they are asleep? Or are they secure against Our punishment afflicting them during mid morning while they are playing (whether for pleasure or for physical development)? Are they secure (have become fearless) from Allaah's plan (punishment)? Only those at a loss feel secure from Allaah's plan. Did it (the incidents of the past destroyed nations) not inform those who inherited (lived on) the earth after them that if We wish We could destroy them (as well) because of their (evil) actions? (However,) We have sealed their hearts so they do not hear (any incident with the intention of learning a lesson). These were the towns (villages and localities), the stories of which We have narrated to you. Undoubtedly, their Rusul came to them with clear signs (miracles to prove that they were Allaah's messengers) but they were unlikely to believe in the things that they had rejected previously. In this manner does Allaah place a seal on the hearts of the Kaafiroon (so that they are unable to accept the truth because of their evil ways). We found that most of them (most people) did not fulfil their pledge (the pledge that mankind made with Allaah before coming to this world that they would regard only Him as their Rabb) and We found most of them to be disobedient (to Allaah's ==========Loc. 6194-96 | I am the Rasool of that Allaah to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth.

(As a result, the community divided into three groups. One group violated the prohibition, a second refrained from fishing and also tried to stop the first group, whereas a third group refrained from fishing and also refrained from stopping the first group.)==========Loc. 6252-55 | (Remember the time) When We uprooted the mountain (Mount Toor and suspended it) above them (the Bani Israa'eel) as if it were a canopy and they thought that it would fall on them.

Surah 8: Surah Anfaal THE SPOILS OF WAR==========Loc. 6375-78 | "Fight them until no corruption (kufr) exists and all religion (worship) is for Allaah" (verse 39).

However, when the caravan heard about the plan of the Muslims, they notified the people of Makkah, who prepared an army to defend the caravan. In the meantime, the caravan changed route and managed to escape unharmed. When the Makkan army was informed that the caravan no longer needed defence, they resolved to fight the Muslims and marched to face the Muslims at a place called Badr.)==========Loc. 6430-35 | (Remember the time) When Allaah promised you (Muslims) that one of the two groups (either the caravan or the Mushrikeen army) will certainly be yours and you wished that the one without strength (the caravan) be yours (rather than fighting a heavily armed army). (On the contrary,) Allaah desired that the truth (of Islaam) be established (be recognised) as the truth (so that the Kuffaar would know that the Muslims are a force to be reckoned with) by His decree (as He had predestined) and that the roots of the Kaafiroon be cut.==========Loc. 6470 | ... deserting the battlefield is a major sin).==========Loc. 6471-75 | You (Muslims) did not kill them (the Mushrikeen by your own strength) but it was Allaah Who killed them and you (O Rasulullaah SallAllaahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not throw (the handful of sand into the eyes of the Mushrikeen to temporarily blind all of them) when you threw, but it was (actually) Allaah Who threw

If they desist (stop practising kufr and accept Islaam), then indeed Allaah is Watchful over what they do (and will reward them for the good they do).==========Loc. 6621-22 | We destroyed them because of their sins and We drowned the people of Fir'oun. They were all oppressors (especially towards themselves because their oppression led to their own punishment).==========Loc. 6623-28 | (The Jewish Banu Qurayzah tribe of Madinah had entered into a treaty with the Muslims promising that they will not assist an enemy against the Muslims, but they broke the treaty by assisting the Mushrikeen of Makkah to fight the Muslims. Referring to this Jewish tribe, Allaah says,) Without doubt the worst of creatures in Allaah's sight are those who commit kufr and will therefore not have Imaan. These are the ones with whom you (O Muhammad SallAllaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had taken a pledge, then they break it at every opportunity without any fear (forgoing against their word).==========Loc. 6644-45 | Whatever you may spend in Allaah's way (the reward for it) will be given to you in full and you will not be oppressed (you will not be given less than you deserve.

A witness from her family (an infant present there miraculously spoke or a wise man) testified by saying, "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she is truthful and he is from the liars. 27. However, if his shirt is torn from the back, then she is lying and he is from the truthful.” 28. When he (the husband) saw that his shirt was torn from the back, he (realised that his wife was guilty and) said, "This is definitely from the trickery of you (women).==========Loc. 8232-44 | When she heard of their plot (their back-biting), she (decided to convince them that her attraction for Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam was not unfounded, so she) sent for them and prepared a meeting place for them, setting cushions there. She gave each of them a knife and (as they were busy cutting their fruit, Zulaykha) then told Yoosuf (Alayhis Salaam), "Come out before them!" When they saw him, they were taken aback (by his beauty) and (in their astonishment at his extreme handsomeness, they) cut their hands (repeatedly) and exclaimed, "Allaah is Pure! This cannot be a human (because no human can possibly be so handsome)! He must surely be a noble angel!" 32. She (Zulaykha) said, "This is what you were criticising me for. Indeed I attempted to seduce him against his will, but he escaped. If he does not do as I command him, he shall certainly be imprisoned and he will definitely become of those humiliated." 33. Yoosuf (Alayhis Salaam) prayed, "O my Rabb! The prison is dearer to me than that (adultery) towards which these women call me. If You do not turn their plot away from me, I (fear

I attempted to seduce him against his will and he is of the truthful (he did not try to seduce me)." 52. (When Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam was informed about the admission, he said) "This (declaration of my innocence) was (done) so that he (the minister) may know that I did not betray him in his absence (by trying to seduce his wife), and (so that he and all the people may know that) without doubt, Allaah does not promote the plot of betrayers."==========Loc. 8302-4 | "I do not absolve myself (of all fault).

This is how we punish oppressors (wrongdoers in our land)." 76. He (Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam) began with their satchels (began searching the satchels of the step-brothers) before (searching) the satchel of his (real) brother and then (finding the cup in Bin Yaameen's satchel) removed the cup from his (real) brother's satchel. Thus did We inspire a plan for Yoosuf (to keep his brother in Egypt). He could not have kept back his brother (with him) according to the law of the king (of Egypt because the Egyptian law ruled differently), except if Allaah willed (Nothing can be done unless Allaah wills it. Therefore, Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam was able to detain his brother only by Allaah's will). We elevate the ranks (in knowledge) of whoever We will (despite his vast knowledge, Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam still needed Allaah to inspire him with this plan). Above every knowledgeable person is one who is more knowledgeable. (No human can claim to be the most knowledgeable. Even the knowledge of the most knowledgeable person is negligible compared to Allaah's knowledge.) 77. (In their anger,) They (the brothers) said, "If he has stolen then surely his brother before him (Yoosuf) must have also stolen." Yoosuf concealed this (accusation) in his heart and did not disclose it to them (he did not falsify what they said). He said (to himself), "You are worse off (because you stole a son from

You were not with them (thee brothers of Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam) when they collectively resolved their affair (to get rid of Yoosuf Alayhis Salaam) and when they plotted (about how they would do it).

It travelled extremely fast because its every step reached as far as the eyes can see. At Masjidul Aqsa, Muhammad led all the Ambiyaa Alayhimus Salaam in salaah. Thereafter, he was taken to the heavens, a journey known as 'Mi'raaj'. He was met by several Ambiyaa Alayhimus Salaam in the seven heavens, all of whom welcomed him. He was also shown Jannah and Jahannam and many wonders of Allaah's creation. He spoke to Allaah there and the five Fardh salaah were given to him as a gift to the Ummah.

(However, when they realised that they had to leave their town to escape persecution, they said to each other,) "When you have separated (withdrawn) yourselves from them (the people of the town) and what (idols) they worship besides Allaah, then seek refuge in the cave. (Do not worry about what you will live on because) May your Rabb shower His mercy upon you and make your objectives easy to reach." (When they reached the cave, Allaah made all of them sleep for 309 years.) 17. (If you had seen their cave) You will see that, (the situation of the cave was such that) when the sun rose, it would pass by their cave on the right and, when it would set, it would pass by on the left, while they were in a spacious (inner) portion of the cave (in this manner, their bodies did not receive direct sunlight, which would have disturbed them). These are from Allaah's Aayaat. The person whom Allaah guides (grants understanding) is rightly guided (because only Allaah can guide a person). As for him whom Allaah (because of His great wisdom) sends astray, you shall not find for him any guiding friend. 18. (Had you seen them,) You would have thought that they were awake though they were asleep (Allaah made them appear as if they were awake. Had they appeared asleep, a passer-by would take advantage of their helpless situation and harm them in some way). And (so that their bodies would not decompose or become stiff!) We used to turn them over on their right and left sides, while their dog stretched out his paws (and lay) at the threshold (at the entrance of the cave to protect them). If you were to observe them closely, you would surely have turned away and fled from them, and you would have been filled with (terror) awe (because the scene was a frightening one, Allaah made it appear frightening to discourage anyone from disturbing them). 19. (As they slept soundly) In this manner, We woke them up so that they could question each other. One of them said, "How long have you remained (asleep in the cave) ?" They replied, "We remained here for a day or a part of a day (They said this because they had fallen asleep in the morning and had woken up in the evening 309 years later)." Others said, "Your Rabb knows best how long you stayed. Send someone to the town with this silver (coins). Let him then see which food is purest (not dedicated to idols) so that he can bring you some provisions from there. However, he should be subtle (covetous) in his approach and never inform anyone about you (because the people would then learn about our whereabouts and persecute us further). 20. Surely, if they (the people of the town) become aware of your presence, they will certainly stone you or (force you to) return you to their religion (idol-worship), after which you shall never again be successful. (When the person went with the money to the town, the people were astonished to see him dressed in such ancient clothing and to see the ancient coins he carried. By then all the people of the town as well as the king were Mu'mineen and when they learnt the story from the person, they were pleased to know that they were the same people who had disappeared so many centuries ago. The story was a great lesson for these people.) 21. In this manner (as We had awoken them,) We made them (their story) known (to people) so that the people might know that Allaah's promise (of resurrection) is true and that there is no doubt about (the coming of) Qiyaamah (because Allaah can raise all of creation in

(Remember the time) When (the people of the cave passed away after a short while and) the people (of the town) disputed about (what to do to remember) them and said, "Build a structure over them (seal the cave to be a grave for them). (In reply to another dispute that arose about the people of the cave, the people said) Their Rabb knows them best (it is therefore futile to argue about them)." (When another dispute arose about what sort of structure to build at the 'entrance of the cave,) Those who proved dominant in their affairs said, "We shall definitely build a Masjid over them (so that people may always know that the people of the cave worshipped Allaah. In this manner, people will not succumb to worshipping the people of the cave)." … only a few people know them … Allaah revealed to [Muhammad] the stories even more astonishing than that of the people of the cave and about people who lived long before them. These stories are such that [Muhammad] would never have known about them without divine revelation, proving that he was Allaah's Rasool.==========Loc. 10142-10143 | Allaah knows best how long they stayed (in the cave, so refer the matter to Him)==========Loc. 10214-10216 | (The rewards of certain good deeds continue accumulating even after a person dies because people continue to benefit from these deeds e.g. having a well dug, teaching people things of benefit and building homes for the poor.)==========Loc. 10299-10305 | Moosa (Alayhis Salaam) said to him (Khidr), "May I follow you on condition (with the understanding) that you teach me some of the special knowledge that has been taught (specially) to you?" 67.

However,) As for him who oppresses (himself by remaining as a Kaafir), we shall soon (severely) punish him (in some manner) after which he will (after his death) certainly be returned to his Rabb, Who will punish him most severely."==========Loc. 10397-10404 | "Should we inform you of those who are the worst losers in terms of their actions?" 104. They are those whose efforts (good acts) are destroyed in this worldly life (not accepted by Allaah because they do not have Imaan or because their intentions are incorrect) while they think that they are (definitely) carrying out good acts (and that they will be rewarded). 105. These are the ones who reject the Aayaat of their Rabb and meeting with Him (on the Day of Qiyaamah). So their (good) acts are wasted (completely spoiled) and no weight (value) will be attached to them on the Day of Judgement (because of which they will receive no rewards). 106.

However, they would then immediately dispel this thought because they knew that the idols could do nothing. In this manner, Ibraheem(A.S.) wished to bring to their attention that they are wrong to worship such useless things). 59.
